A politician being narcissistic? Nahhhh
Maybe Harper is a vampire and can't see himself in mirrors so he uses photos.
Seriously, this is a big issue?
Really! Sensible maxim: if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

It is from 2008, Mf, but it is still relevant. I have included this in my writings for a few years but it does not seem to get throguh. It is not just photographs: the portraits of previous Prime Ministers were removed to make way for Harper.
As for him being a psychopath! There is little doubt of that and I have been saying it for twenty years but few are listening. I have told him so and several of his ministers and bum boys.
Several of our Prime Ministers have had mental quirks and a degree of narcissism but there has been none like Harper. He is the only one we have had who has set out to destroy the Canada we know or to prevent its progressive development.

Ok, c'mon, you're really a CPC shill, trying to make people distance themselves from the left, right?
The antics of a provincial NDP government doesn't in any way excuse the abuses of power by the federal Conservatives.
Just like the abuses of power by previous Federal Gov'ts, does not in any way excuse the abuses of the present Federal Gov't.
It does however negate the silliness of posts claiming that they're somehow new to Canadian politics.
Excellent post.
It's in the nature of psychopaths who have no real emotions of their own to take from the community around them, even as they perform convincing acts of being positive members of that community.
We've already been left with a rump of a democracy, we can't even look critically into the PMO anymore, we just get staged performances by "our" PM. The Conservatives violate Canadian election laws seemingly at will, they lie about some of the most important issues facing us and act to prevent the healthy funtioning of Parliament.
These things are all consistent with steven Harper having a psychopathic personality, and it's pointless expecting him to recover and get better, if he's physically incapable of experiencing genuine emotions then he's probably the most dangerous PM we've ever had.

I have to ask at how bad the opposition leaders/parties are if a phsycopath (accepting for the moment he is) is the choice of leader?
Steven Harper took advantage of a House and a nation deeply divided, mostly by the Quebec sovereignty issue. He didn't create the deep divisions in this nation, he just used them to catapult himself into a position where he can reek as much havoc as possible.
We needed a leader to bring us together after the war fought between the Liberals and the Bloq in our House, instead we probably got a psychopath who only really understands how to manipulate, control and ultimately how to betray people.
Seems the simple solution is to find somebody competent as an alternative.
Alas, we are still waiting.
If it were only that simple.
We've already lost much of the already weakened democratic system we had under the last Liberal government, Steven Harper has set some pretty disturbing precedents that other PMs will try and take advantage of, just look at how eager Conservatives always seem to be to justify their actions by blaming their predecessors.
It's going to take powerful grassroots movements and possibly the creation of new parties that are willing to create the kind of political system that our traditions, history and culture would indicate we desire to inherit. And the whole time the Conservatives will still be busy trying to solidly brand this nation as their own.
Even the NDP has a long way to go IMO, but they're the best and possibly only option now.

Is it blame? Or is it pointing out to those that falsely claim that the present Gov't is doing things never done before, that these things have been done before?
Given the fact that Don Jean Chretien was repeatedly elected, then his financial bag man elected to run the country, says we keep getting the gov't we deserve.
As apposed to the naturally ruling party?
No they're not. Mulcair has proven that succinctly.
I split my sides reading your posts. Keep it up, it's very entertaining.

I concur.
Ahhh, again we see the ridiculous "If ya ain't with us, yer agin us" notion, come to the surface.
Not very surprising really.
It IS that simple.
You mean, a system of corruption and patronage? Heavily mixed with a belief that if you are a well-connected businessman, the law doesn't apply to you? 'Cause based on our traditions, history, and culture, that would be it. That's what you want?
